Faith – The Eden Program is not a faith-based organization, but we recognize faith is an integral part of every person. We do not push any one faith but encourage each person to find theirs and be strong in it. It’s important to recognize that the role of faith is subjective and can differ greatly depending on individual beliefs and experiences. While faith can offer many benefits, it’s also important to respect differing perspectives and approaches to spirituality or meaning-making.
Support System – We offer programs that support communication and healthy relationships. Healthy support systems refer to networks of individuals, resources, and practices that provide emotional, psychological, and sometimes tangible assistance to individuals facing challenges or striving for personal growth. These systems are characterized by positivity, trust, and empowerment. They can include family, friends, mentors, support groups, therapists, and community organizations. Healthy support systems offer encouragement, validation, constructive feedback, and practical help, contributing to individuals’ overall well-being and resilience. They also promote a sense of belonging and connectedness, reducing feelings of isolation and stress.
Purpose – Everyone needs a purpose. We believe we are designed to have a purpose. Through our peer programs and use of the enneagram assessment, we help veterans, and first responders find their purpose. The need for purpose refers to the fundamental human desire to have meaning and direction in life. Having a sense of purpose provides individuals with a reason to wake up each day, motivates them to pursue goals and aspirations, and gives their actions a sense of significance.
Medical Care – We do not provide direct medical care, but we can connect the warrior to medical professionals within our network. Overall, medical care is essential for individual and community health. It plays a critical role in improving overall well-being and quality of life for individuals and communities. Our network of medical professionals continues to grow so we can connect our warriors with the right level of care.
Dear Supporter,
I hope this message finds you well. As we approach Memorial Day, a time when we reflect on the sacrifices made by our brave veterans, we are reaching out to invite you to join us in a meaningful initiative to support those who have served our country with courage and dedication.
Our veterans have selflessly put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms and uphold the values we hold dear. Yet, many veterans continue to face challenges as they transition back to civilian life. From healthcare needs, to employment assistance, there are numerous ways in which we can lend our support.
To make a tangible difference in the lives of our veterans, we are launching a donation drive with the goal of raising $12,000 in support of veteran causes. We believe that by coming together as a community, we can make a significant impact and show our gratitude to those who have served.
We are asking for your support in achieving our goal. A donation of just $10 can go a long way in providing vital resources and assistance to veterans in need. Your contribution will directly benefit programs that offer healthcare services, job training, housing assistance, and more to veterans across the country.
Here’s how you can participate:
1. Click on the donation link provided below to make your $10 contribution.
2. Share this invitation with your friends, family, and colleagues who may also wish to support our veterans.
3. Spread the word on social media using the hashtag #SupportOurVeterans to raise awareness about our donation drive.
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our veterans and express our gratitude for their service and sacrifice. Thank you for considering this invitation, and we look forward to your support.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Brenton Briggs

Upcoming Events
We have several peer-to-peer or group events throughout the year. You can check out our calendar for more info, or follow our Facebook page.
Couples’ date nights are essential for nurturing and sustaining healthy, fulfilling relationships by prioritizing time, communication, and intimacy between partners. Our date nights are designed to create special moments and memories that couples need to create and maintain strong bonds. We offer a variety of different dates that include ways to rekindle romance, provide stress relief, improve team building and teamwork, and show deeper appreciation for each other, while discussing topics like communication skills, intimacy, personality styles and a few others. Couples who attend our date nights are looking to step away from their busy routine of daily life for a few hours to reconnect with their spouse. All our dates are fun, educational, and packed with activities for couples who want to keep their marriages full of life and love and are led by a dynamic marriage professional.
Couples join our date nights events to strengthen and deepen their relationships and to network with other couples who want the same thing.
In this 13-week peer led model, participants navigate the journey home through the experiences of other veterans and first responders who have, or still are, on that journey. Participants learn wellness practices along with an extensive list of life skills, all focused on rediscovering their identities and building resiliency.
The course is divided into three phases. The first phase is the introductory phase that brings the team together and establishes the ground rules and expectations for the course. The participants take an enneagram assessment, learn five wellness practices, and begin to understand who they are and their true value. The team takes part in a community service project during phase one. Phase two empowers the participants with cognitive behavior principles and six additional wellness practices. This phase deepens their understanding of their power to manage their thoughts and behaviors. The final phase continues to build the participants’ resiliency. This section is designed to strengthen their resiliency and continue developing their confidence and competence with their new practices and coping skills.
At the end of the 13-week 50+-hour program, each participant has a better understanding of who they are, where they fit into their community, and the tools and practices to thrive in their new self. Much of this is done by changing unhelpful thought processes, improving emotional regulation, and developing personal coping strategies.
All veterans and first responders are welcome.
